😴🥱 It’s National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day and here at The Rainwater, we almost joined in…

…but none of us had the jam-jamas (or the nerve) to ask our boss for permission. 😬🫣

So here we are—fully dressed, slightly bitter, and wondering who even comes up with these holidays?! (Seriously… is there a Council of Comfy somewhere?) 😂

There’s always next year… maybe.
